What the defense nerds are thinking about in terms of force structure:

I'd consider myself a hybrid of the 6 schools of thought, but mainly a Big Spender, I say that but I cringe at the thought of growing the tail along with the tooth, feeding the DoD more money at this time absent major reform will grow more shoe clerks relative to door kickers.

And on AF force structure:

Retire some Eagles, Hogs, Vipers, look for an E-3 replacement, slow roll the 35 train a bit till Block 4 configuration is ready, retire older Raptors, etc... to get money for new toys.
